I used to think a lot about up-gradability before but often find that when a cpu is too slow then it is also so old that I have to change the motherboard and ram too for compatibility reasons.
Same thing with the motherboard, if it fails I’ve never had it be new enough that I can bring my cpu and ram with me to my next motherboard (unless buying an older motherboard second hand).
And many of my disks will be old enough that I want to replace them too, at least if they have anything important on them.
Only things I’ve brought with me when upgrading desktops have been my case (including fans), psu, gpu and (some) disks.
Having a quiet and dust proof case that is easy to build in and a good psu that https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ endorses has become higher priority to me since then, as I know they might last me more than one build.
Considering the amount of android models there are wouldn’t this be the obvious result?
The FairPhone 4 had a screen brightness bug that made the phone (mostly) unusable outside in the sun that lasted from Feb 2023 to Oct 2023.
Since the Android 12 update, the FP4 has a cooling feature that reduces the maximum brightness even when the slider is all the way to the right.
This occurs when the phone heats up to ~40 degrees at the CPU, which is not a lot at all.

They will have to work very hard to make me consider buying my next phone from them.
They do seem to listen to their users and learn from their mistakes though - FP4 was often criticized for the short firmware support offered from Qualcomm. FP5 will have Qualcomm’s extended firmware support for its SoC.

I’d say from a business perspective this is the major thing:
Real license of LXD
Per the commit message performing the re-licensing, all further contributions will be under the AGPLv3 license and all contributions from Canonical employees have been re-licensed to AGPLv3.
However, Canonical does not own the copyright on any contribution from non-employees, such as the many changes they have imported from Incus over the past few months. Those therefore remain under the Apache 2.0 license that they were contributed under.
As a result, LXD is now under a weird mix of Apache 2.0 and AGPLv3 with no clear metadata indicating what file or what part of each file is under one license or the other.
This is likely to make it very “fun” for anyone performing licensing reviews to evaluate LXD for adoption in their environment.

I find mentions on their homepage that they love open source but I can’t find any repository for the hypervisor itself.
Nutanix AHV is based upon CentOS KVM.

Some alternatives:
-
Incus - After canonicals takeover of LXD a fork of it called Incus was created. Supporting both virtual machines and linux containers. Free open-source with paid support.
https://github.com/lxc/incus -
virt-manager - For home usage without clusters and the like a simple Linux host with kvm/qemu/libvirt/virt-manager usually works just fine.
https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager -
Cockpit Project - Cockpit can be used to manage both virtual machines and podman. Personally I use it in tandem with virt-manager.
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman https://github.com/oVirt/cockpit-ovirt -
Proxmox - KVM/LXC Hypervisor based on Debian. Supports clustering and High-Availability. Free open-source with paid support. https://github.com/proxmox
Well, most of us can relax I believe: The rootkit supports Linux Kernel versions are 2.6x/3.10.x

I download both windows and linux offline installers when I buy games at gog.com, it’s one of the reasons I buy there.
